Frequently asked questions
Calathea Freddie
Is the listed 25 cm a floor-plant size?
It is a small tabletop plant. On the floor, furniture may block the light reaching its leaves.
Should I open a tightly rolled new leaf?
No. Let it unfold on its own while keeping growing conditions stable; pulling can tear the leaf.
Can it sit behind a computer screen?
Only if daylight still reaches the leaves and the plant is clear of hot exhaust air. Beside the screen is usually easier to assess.
Is Freddie the same as Vittata?
They are sold as different foliage selections: Freddie has green-on-green striping, while Vittata has pale narrow stripes. Both need protected light.
